Australian Courts

Australian courts are part of an independent legal system that resolves disputes, interprets laws, and upholds justice. They are organized into federal and state courts, each handling specific matters. Federal courts deal with nationwide issues like immigration and intellectual property, while state courts manage local cases such as criminal, civil, and family law. The hierarchy includes lower courts (Magistrates and Local Courts) for less serious cases, and higher courts (Supreme, Federal, and High Court) for more serious or complex matters. Judges and magistrates ensure legal processes are followed, making sure laws are applied fairly and consistently.
